Choreographer Paola Escobar begins
her work onsite July 9, 2019 and continues developing a new site specific dance
work through public performances October 4-6, 2019 (save the dates!)
The as-yet untitled project utilizes elements
of flamenco, salsa and African dance to explore displacement and nomadism
within contemporary society. You may see her at the Beach House testing ideas
and movement or creating garment/sculpture explorations in preparation for her
public performances later this fall. Please feel free to ask questions or say
hello, or participate in a popup movement session as they occur.
Paola Escobar is a Colombian artist
who creates transcultural work that combines her Latin-American background with
her interest in the traditional and social dances, and contemporary art.
Escobar's work reflects on memory and cultural identity, and engages with current
issues of immigration, hierarchies of power, and cultural perception. Her work organically
crosses formal boundaries that traditionally separate disciplines and styles, presenting
a holistic perspective of the body that is able to move, speak, and produce
sound. More at borderlinemovement.com.
